"The inspection caught what we missed."
I didn't realize how much damage raccoons can cause once they get inside. The wildlife specialist explained what areas they inspect first and why raccoon issues are handled more carefully than regular pests. They showed me the damage and explained removal and exclusion strategies. Understanding the potential for damage made me glad I called professionals.
"Nightly raccoon raids stopped for good."
Raccoons were tipping over our bins and scattering trash across the driveway. The wildlife specialist identified den sites nearby and recommended wildlife-proof containers. They also sealed access to the crawl space where raccoons had been resting during the day.
"Nightly raccoon trash raids ended."
Raccoons were raiding our bins nightly and leaving trash all over the driveway. The provider identified access points to the crawl space and sealed them. They recommended wildlife-proof containers which ended the nightly raids.
"Attic raccoons removed and area sanitized."
We heard heavy footsteps in the attic and found raccoon droppings. The provider installed a one-way exclusion device and sealed the entry point after the animal left. Professional cleanup and sanitization followed.
"Soffit repaired and raccoons evicted."
Raccoons ripped open a section of soffit and moved into the attic. The provider installed a one-way door and sealed the opening after the animal left. Metal flashing over the repair prevented future break-ins.
"Compost bin secured against raccoon raids."
Raccoons tore open the compost bin nightly and scattered waste across the yard. The provider identified den sites near the property and recommended wildlife-proof composting. Securing the bin and removing attractants solved the problem.
"Soffit gap repaired and raccoons evicted."
Raccoons found a gap in the soffit and moved into the attic. The provider installed a one-way exclusion device and sealed the entry after the animals left. Metal flashing over the repair has held up well.
"Crawl space vents sealed and raccoons gone."
Raccoons nested in the crawl space and we could hear them at night. The provider installed a one-way door and sealed the vent openings. The animals left and the sealed vents kept them out.
"Trash raids and crawl space access stopped."
Raccoons tipped our bins nightly and scattered garbage across the alley. The provider recommended wildlife-proof containers and sealed access to the crawl space. Both changes ended the nightly raids.
"Nightly trash raids stopped for good."
Every morning we would walk out to coffee grounds and chicken bones strewn across the driveway. Twice a week, like clockwork. The wildlife specialist recommended wildlife-proof bins with metal latches and sealed the crawl space vent that they had been using for shelter. Both changes together did the trick. Garbage day has been boring ever since.
"Crawl space vent sealed and raccoons gone."
Raccoons found a gap in the crawl space vent and moved in. The provider installed a one-way door and sealed the vent after the animal left. The repaired vent has held.
"Soffit repaired and attic raccoon-free."
Lying in bed at midnight we heard heavy footsteps overhead, then a thud. Not subtle. A flashlight on the front of the house showed a torn-open soffit corner. The wildlife specialist installed a one-way door, gave the mother and kits a few nights to leave, then closed it up with metal flashing screwed tight. The attic has been quiet for over a year.
"Soffit gap sealed and attic raccoon-free."
Heard the heavy footsteps overhead at five in the morning, then a soft thumping that turned out to be kits. The wildlife specialist confirmed mom and at least two babies had moved in through a soffit gap. He installed a one-way door, gave them time to leave, then closed it up with metal flashing screwed to solid framing. Repair has held.
"Nightly trash raids stopped and crawl space sealed."
Raccoons tipped the bins and scattered trash every night. The provider recommended wildlife-proof containers and sealed the crawl space access. Both changes resolved the problem.
"Soffit sealed and attic raccoon-free."
Heard the thump first, then the squabbling, then the slow drag of something heavy across the attic ceiling. Mom raccoon and three kits, the wildlife specialist confirmed. He installed a one-way door, let them out over a few nights, then sealed the soffit corner with metal flashing screwed to the framing. The repair held through last winter and the attic has stayed quiet.
"Compost bin secured and crawl space sealed."
Every morning the compost bin was flipped on its side, lid yanked off, and the contents strewn across the patio. I could hear them most nights too. The wildlife specialist recommended a metal-latched compost bin and showed me a crawl space vent they had been using for shelter. We upgraded the bin, sealed the vent. Both changes together ended the nightly raids.
"Soffit sealed and attic raccoon-free."
Heard the heavy footsteps above the bedroom ceiling at four in the morning and I knew it was not a squirrel. The wildlife specialist found a soffit corner that had been pulled open and installed a one-way door. Once they were out, he closed it with metal flashing screwed to solid framing. The attic has been quiet for almost a year now. Sleeping well finally.
"Trash raids stopped and crawl space sealed."
Every morning the trash bins were tipped, lids tossed across the driveway, and the contents strewn out. I could hear them at night too. The wildlife specialist suggested metal-latched wildlife-proof bins and sealed a vent corner where they had been sheltering. Both changes together did it. Garbage day is no longer a chore I dread.
"Crawl space vent sealed and raccoons gone."
Heard a hissing noise from under the house and then the kids found a tiny paw print in the mud near the crawl space vent. The wildlife specialist confirmed mom and at least two kits had moved in. He installed a one-way door, gave them a few nights, then closed it up with hardware cloth screwed to the foundation. The repair has held through a year of weather and the crawl space has been quiet.
